The PN-40 supports everything that the (stock) PN-60 does. The PN-60 had some better stuff under the hood (significant battery life improvement) and a graphical menuing system similar to most other GPS instead of a text based menu system like the PN-40. There are versions of the PN-60 that support connection to Spot or In-Reach but those have extra smarts anyway.

So yes, the PN-40 has always been fully paperless, which is why I bought one when I started caching.

I just bought a PN-60w with spot, and while the unit is great, I am disappointed with the topo maps that come with it. They are about 300 feet off here in Northern Manitoba. I am going to hold onto it for a while and see if they are better in paces farther south.

The traditional recommendation is to get a Garmin. They are by far the most widely used and supported device. The only downside is that Garmin seemingly hasn't been able to produce a totally bug free device as of late. There is quite a range of units from Garmin to choose from, the new etrex series, 62 series, montana series, etc.
